In Ref to ANTPS 44

We were able to se the general position of the Aircraftcarriers based on when Harriers apear and desapear from the screen .- We were able to track most airplanes within the range of 120 to 160 NM . ( it's max range was 200 NM ) .-
Ships were seen on the screen at about 15 to 18 NM and that allowed us to track and direct the fire of 155 mm over them .- We were tracking Glanmorgan the night it was hit and updating its position every 15 seconds when we got hit with naval artillery from another ship , which left only the Rasit ground base radar to do the last tracking before the exorcet was fired .-
How far away could we track airplanes flying at low altitude ? : We were able to see the C 130 coming in to land when they were between 12 and 15 NM away , and they were coming low , very low .-
